I have a Spectran plot running on:
http://www3.telus.net/sthed/argo2/

The plot is taken every 900 seconds... It should give you a good idea of 
what things are like here locally on the 2200m band to put the TIL 
Grabber is context... 

Legend:
- Squiggles every 60Hz are the power crap from my neighbours...
- The switched carrier at ~480Hz is the 'warbbler' carrier...
- The blurry signal between 640-660Hz is the data burst from the 
'warbbler'...
- Loran comes up at night and you can see many of the 'bright' Loran 
lines...

Day
'Warbbler' comes up nicely... The 'Warbbler' is a local PLC signal and 
yes I've even applied for a job at BC Hydro communications to learn 
more... There are many on the band around here and they all have 
different bearings...

Night
'Warbbler' fades down, lots of 60Hz noise early to mid evening...
Late evening, morning, lots of Loran lines and if band is noisy T-storm 
noise form south or back east depending on band condx...
VY1JA has been seen on the wideband view and has been heard audibly at 
times...

Someday I'll make it pretty like other grabbers but time is short...
